Summary
Council approved an open-container permit and event logistics for the Sheepherners Rendezvous (Aug. 21–23, 2026); the organizer said renting sheep will cost between $750 and $1,000 and requested overnight housing of sheep on the ball field Friday night and temporary signage around town.
The council approved an open-container permit and discussed logistics for the Sheepherners Rendezvous set for Aug. 21–23, 2026 in the town park. The event organizer described arrangements for sheep rentals (estimated at $750–$1,000), dog-trial logistics, parking for wagons, and plans to place temporary signage around town; council members raised standard concerns about fencing, water and overnight housing of animals and then voted to approve the permit.
The organizer said they expect 25–30 wagons and between 75 and 120 dogs depending on sheep availability; she asked permission to bring sheep in Friday night and house them on the ball field with appropriate gates closed and water provided. "We are going to have to rent the sheep and it's going to be between 750 and $1,000 to rent the sheep," the organizer said. Council approved the event plan and open-container permit and asked staff to coordinate trash and porta-potty logistics.
